Kariva 28 Day can cost over $150 retail, but most patients pay far less. Learn about insurance coverage, GoodRx coupons, and other ways to save on Kariva in 2026.

Without insurance, Kariva 28 Day can cost anywhere from $55 to over $150 per pack at retail pharmacies. That's a lot to pay for birth control every month. The good news: most patients have access to discounts, insurance coverage, or coupon programs that can bring the cost down dramatically — sometimes below $20 per pack.

What Does Kariva 28 Day Cost Without Insurance?

The cash price for Kariva 28 Day varies significantly by pharmacy. Based on current pricing data:

Average retail price: Approximately $55–$150 for a 28-tablet pack

With GoodRx coupon: As low as $12–$20 per pack (up to 87% off retail at some pharmacies)

With SingleCare coupon: As low as $9.54 per pack at participating pharmacies

Online pharmacy (Honeybee Health): Starting at $38 + free shipping

Does Insurance Cover Kariva 28 Day?

Yes — and for most patients with private insurance, Kariva 28 Day is covered at

no out-of-pocket cost under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA requires most private health insurance plans to cover FDA-approved contraceptives — including combination oral contraceptives like Kariva — without cost sharing (i.e., $0 copay, no deductible applied).

Important notes on insurance coverage:

The ACA mandate applies to most employer-sponsored plans and marketplace plans, but not all grandfathered plans or self-insured religious employer plans.

Some plans may require you to use a specific Mircette-equivalent (e.g., Viorele or Azurette) rather than Kariva specifically. If Kariva requires a prior authorization or costs more than an equivalent, ask your doctor about switching to the preferred brand.

Medicaid coverage varies by state but typically covers oral contraceptives at low or no cost.

How to Use GoodRx to Save on Kariva

GoodRx is a prescription discount program that negotiates lower prices with pharmacies. To use it:

Go to goodrx.com or the GoodRx app and search for "Kariva 28 Day"

Enter your zip code to see prices at nearby pharmacies

Show the coupon (on your phone) to the pharmacist at pickup

Note: GoodRx coupons cannot be combined with insurance. Use whichever gives you the lower price.

GoodRx Gold members (a paid subscription starting at ~$9.99/month) can access even lower prices — reportedly as low as $19.74 for Kariva at participating pharmacies. If you use multiple prescriptions, Gold may be worth the monthly cost.

Other Discount Programs for Kariva

SingleCare: Similar to GoodRx; shows prices at CVS, Walmart, Kroger, and others. Reported Kariva price as low as $9.54.

RxSaver: Another free coupon comparison tool; savings of up to 80% at participating pharmacies.

LowerMyRx: Free savings card accepted at over 35,000 pharmacies including CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid.

Is There a Manufacturer Coupon or Patient Assistance Program?

As of 2026, no dedicated manufacturer coupon or patient assistance program (PAP) has been identified for Kariva 28 Day specifically. Teva Pharmaceuticals may offer programs for eligible patients — check Teva's website or call their patient assistance line to inquire. Because Kariva is a generic medication, most patients can achieve very low prices through third-party discount programs like GoodRx or SingleCare without needing a manufacturer program.

Save More by Using an Equivalent Generic

When comparing prices across pharmacies, it's worth checking the cost of equivalent generics (Azurette, Viorele, Pimtrea) alongside Kariva. Since these contain the exact same hormones and doses, they may be priced differently at a given pharmacy — and the cheaper option may actually be the one with more available stock as well.

Community Health Centers and Title X Clinics

If you're uninsured or underinsured, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and Title X family planning clinics provide contraceptives on a sliding-scale fee basis. Planned Parenthood locations often dispense birth control pills at reduced cost or at no cost for qualifying patients. Search HRSA's Health Center Finder at findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov or the HHS Title X clinic locator.

Once you've sorted out cost, make sure you can actually fill the prescription. Our guide on how to find Kariva 28 Day in stock near you can help you locate pharmacies with your medication available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Without insurance, the retail price for Kariva 28 Day ranges from approximately $55 to $150 per 28-tablet pack depending on the pharmacy. With a GoodRx coupon, the price drops to as low as $12–$20 per pack. SingleCare reports prices as low as $9.54 at participating pharmacies.

For most patients with private insurance or marketplace plans, yes. The ACA requires most health insurance plans to cover FDA-approved contraceptives including combination pills like Kariva at $0 cost share (no copay, no deductible). Some grandfathered plans or religious employer plans are exempt. Confirm with your insurer.

No. GoodRx coupons cannot be combined with insurance benefits. You must choose one or the other at the pharmacy. If your insurance covers Kariva at $0, use insurance. If your copay is higher than the GoodRx price, use the coupon instead — but remember that GoodRx spending does not count toward your insurance deductible.

Prices for Mircette-equivalent generics like Kariva and Viorele vary by pharmacy and coupon. It's worth checking both names on GoodRx or SingleCare at your preferred pharmacy — since they contain identical hormones, you can choose whichever is priced lower with your doctor's authorization.

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Title X family planning clinics offer contraceptives on a sliding-scale fee. Planned Parenthood also provides birth control pills at reduced or no cost for eligible patients. Search findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov to locate a nearby clinic.
